The season-long race to see which players can earn the most cash on the PGA Tour is off and running. With more than $400 million in combined purses up for grabs in 2026, there's plenty of money to go around.
Scottie Scheffler concluded the 2025 season by leading the Tour with $27.7 million in winnings and after posting a win in the opening event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, he's well in front of the pack again. Last year, Scheffler was followed by Tommy Fleetwood ($18.5 million) and Rory McIlroy ($17 million). Here's a look at where the top pros stand on the season money list as of August 18, 2026.
